The number 69 has staying power. It was hardly new when it was used in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and that was in 1989, 37 years ago.
How long will 6-7 last? I’m guessing not more than a year. I bet even now it’s being included as part of a script for a kids’ movie, and by the time the movie comes out the kids will all think it’s “cringe” (or whatever term replaces cringe).
Putting Gen Z slang in a movie, especially a bad one, is one of the known ways of killing it overnight.
Putting young-person slang in a movie has been a bad idea since before Gen Z existed.
My best estimate is another 6-7 months

6 x 7 = 42
The kids are alright.
dab on it
I even think dabbing is pretty oldy moldy at this point
Ironically, this scene is now 24 years old
The future is over. We missed it.
I never could have seen the day coming when a number could out sell 69…
Especially in this context where 1969 is the moon landing and Woodstock year
Are falling for that hoax? Woodstock was staged! And I even have proof of that:
67 doesn’t require the horny brain that is needed for 69. It’s the same level of amusement but becuase there is no sexual connection it can be understood more widely and also cannot be shamed in silence.
69 made me initially wonder how sexual 67 was and why kids were laughing at another inappropriate sex number.
Learning It’s NOT a sex number, and honestly has no meaning at all, puts my non-horny brain firmly on Team 67. It’s just a giant innocent in-joke. I love it.
The ingredients for 42 ftw!
The ingredients for 42 ftw!
In both cases.
